Public Comment Mr. Greg Hannan, Community Development Director, spoke regarding the work recently done at 37 North Oviatt Street.

Staff has issued a stop work order on the project and is evaluating the work to determine any appropriate measures. Updates may be found on the City website. Mr. William Kenney, 63 College Street, spoke regarding 37 N. Oviatt Street. Mr. Kenney stated he was surprised that within three days time the house was demolished and there is no mention of permitting for the demolition of the house on the city website or Board notes. Mr. Kenney further stated that many neighbors are upset and are relying on the Board to do what is possible to have decisions upheld. He then stated he is proud of the town for preserving building and thanked Board for it work. Mr. Donovan Husat, 5761 Nicholson Drive, Hudson Heritage Association (HHA) Board representative, reviewed the history of Board decisions regarding 37 North Oviatt and approved plans. Mr. Husat then stated that during the week of September 30, 2019, the house for all practical purposes was demolished which was contrary to the expectations of the City of Hudson. Today, parts of the house are lying on the ground and subject to damage. Mr. Husat is concerned with the precedent this may set regarding historic homes. He encouraged the Board and City to take the necessary steps in this situation and for future situations. Ms. Randi Chepke, 33 N. Oviatt Street, noted the house at 37 North Oviatt Street was abandoned for numerous years and in deplorable condition. She now hopes the owners will be allowed to move forward with doing something on the property.

Mr. Church also noted that other structures have been demolished in and near the historic district and the house on Aurora Street is still sitting without work being done.
